He said: “All of the performers were so professional and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the music on the night. The event was superbly organised and gave us an insight into Ensemble Reza and opportunity to meet many of the musicians, all of whom were very happy to share their love and joy of music and the benefits this can provide to the community.”

In the past year, Ensemble Reza have performed more than 60 concerts to 4,000 people and 2,500 children.

Managing director Hannah Carter said the group’s project over the next six months will see them working with more than 40 schools and running free workshops.

This will start with the Ingfield Manor School.

The mayor said: “What a truly inspirational and community minded group of talented individuals make up the Ensemble Reza family, and not just the musicians but all the hard-working folk who organise, direct, transport, market and fundraise so that the orchestra can provide free music to our community.”
